Tufts University Catnip Newsletter

Catnip, the newsletter for caring cat owners, is published by Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The goal of Catnip is to present feline medical and behavioral information. Award-winning author Arden Moore is editor. Monthly topics include Feline Behavior, Feline Health, Feline Nutrition, Product Review, Dear Doctor and My Cat. Catniptips are featured throughout.

Two tips I like from the January 2010 issue are:
• Weigh your cat monthly–two extra pounds on an adult cat is like a 10-to20-pound gain in a person.
• If you love plants and cats, consider these cat-safe plants: begonia, lavender, spider plant and violets.

I am pleased to report that the January 2010 issue also features my byline in the My Cat section–Hurricane Cat…the friendship between a woman and a stray endures three hurricanes. Of course, the story is all about Lexie Lee!
